I was looking online for a model agreement form that models can send to photographers. Basically listing the what, when, where, the purpose of the session, the number of images delivered, etc. As a model, what additional information would you like to know prior to a photoshoot? Mar 12 19 06:53 am Link Unless someone is paying for images, specifying the number of images to be received is not good. If there are four looks that's four images, unless there is some instagram feed need and for such things that pushes it into paid territory. For a beauty shoot, if they are two looks-two images and in beauty images have to be great.
I see no need to try and box the photographer into delivering a certain number of images. What if the model sucks? Or the photographer just couldn't pull it off-oh-here's all your lousy images. Tf is a risk, a roll-of-the-dice for both parties. If you're paying you can specify and also demand your money back if your needs are not met.

The model could have a standard contract that includes a description of the services they are providing, payment for services, working hours, etc.
There should also be a separate model release, and then the photographer, as the copyright holder, should provide a license that grants usage rights for specific images to the model/client. Some model releases may cover basic usage. For example, the self-promotion release below states, "The test photographic or other images created by _____ (“Photographer”) of me are only for testing, Photographer’s self-promotion uses, and my portfolio." APA Self-Promotion Model Release https://www.dropbox.com/s/56nzqiunqf3qp … e.pdf?dl=0 ASMP Commercial Model Release https://www.asmp.org/releases/model-rel … l-release/ All these documents should be written by a lawyer.

Mar 12 19 11:26 am Link I can't imagine any photographer willing to sign something like this.
If a model sent me that, I would just find someone else to shoot. Curious to see the responses from others regarding if they would sign, or not.

When contacting most models, a photographer will provide a basic concept of the shoot, the time, date and particulars such as MUA provisions, etc. if a model sees something she doesn't agree with or doesn't like, it gives her the opportunity to state so or just say, no thanks. The OP simply added something some models will ask - how many images will I receive. The OP is simply looking to see if anyone has a questionnaire that details the specifics of a shoot that a model might provide to a photographer in order to find out as much information as possible. From the OPs wording, I truly don't see him asking for a contract and may have inadvertently used the word agreement. The last line - "As a model, what information would you like to know prior to a photo shoot?" - gives it away.

Apr 14 19 05:20 pm Link We see rant after rant here about image delivery, number of images and other shoot terms that never would have occurred had the two parties simply spelled out the shoot terms and agreed to them prior to the shoot. I typically do this with a summary email at the time of booking, but it could be a standard form as well. While it's not crystal clear to me precisely what the OP wants, it seems he mostly wants to know what shoot terms should be agreed to. He's not asking about model releases and he never mentioned anyone signing anything.
Some things I do think should be addressed prior to a TF shoot between parties and that I think models care about include: Minimum number of images to be delivered and time frame. (or pay if not TF) Will a model release be required Will an escort of other non shoot personnel be allowed Verify time and place of shoot Any wardrobe or make up be expected of the model There may be others, but if photographers and models would verify and agree on these simple 5 things, shoots would go much smoother and we'd see far fewer rants here. Whether these things are addressed in a single email, an attached form or on a website doesn't really matter to me, so long as they are addressed some way and agreed to. I also don't think it matters if the model asks about these things first or the photographer simple offers them. What's import is they are discussed and agreed to. The problems and resulting rants occur when one or both parties make assumptions rather than actually discussing shoot terms. Apr 14 19 06:09 pm Link Ken Marcus Studios wrote: Agree!
